Do you have any ideas on how to fix the problem? In my experience this is due to initfs inconsistency as somebody already pointed out. IIRC there's a module or two that don't get built from the kernel sources, possibly because of license issues. In other words, just replacing the old modules in /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current with the ones that *do* get built isn't enough, you also need the binary-only ones. Replacing only the ones that do get built and using the old versions of the other ones might work but I've never tried it myself. -- Ilkka Poutanen, research assistant Tampere University of Technology, Institute of Software Systems ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Hi, I´ve compiled the kernel exactly like Clemens said and I´ve also used ´make n770_defconfig´ like Ed proposed. Then I´ve used flasher to flash the kernel. The problem is, in both cases the kernel works, the system starts loading and just before the actual start it hangs and after a while the device restarts. If I flash the original kernel extracted from FIASCO image back to the device, it works just fine. Do you have any ideas on how to fix the problem?

N770 specific kernel sources are here http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo1.1rc6/free/k/kernel-source-2.6.12.3/ original kernel config is here http://maemo.org/maemowiki/KernelConfig You just need to unpack/install it, copy kernel config to .config and do usual 'make oldconfig; make menuconfig; make' Beware that you need 3.4 gcc compiler. I used gcc3.4.cs-glibc-0.9.8.5 from scratchbox http://scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/0.9.8/tarball/ because I have scratchbox installed anyway and this compiler was probably used to compile the original kernel (see /proc/version on the device) But I did not compile it inside scratchbox arm or i386 target, just directly in i386 debian (in colinux on XP machine :) with /scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-gcc3.4.cs-glibc2.3/bin prepended to PATH Frantisek ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
